This module creates the device node concept and provides the policy for many of the device files. Notable exceptions are the mass storage and terminal devices that are covered by other modules.
This module creates the concept of a device node. That is a char or block device file, usually in /dev. All types that are used to label device nodes should use the dev_node macro.
Additionally, this module controls access to three things:
the device directories containing device nodes
device nodes as a group
individual access to specific device nodes covered by this module.
This module is required to be included in all policies.
Append the printer device.
